Mexico cenbank unanimous in decision to raise rates-minutes

MEXICO CITY Dec 31 (Reuters) - Mexico's central bank board
made a unanimous decision to hike borrowing costs earlier this
month in a bid to stem further weakening in the peso currency
after the Federal Reserve lifted U.S. interest rates.

The Banco de Mexico board voted 5-0 to raise its benchmark
interest rate by 25 basis points to 3.25 percent, according to
minutes from the Dec. 17 announcement that were released on
Thursday.
